Abstract:
"Studying the tattoos and scalping scars on early American bodies makes visible a world of signs: stories of alliance, alienation, conflict, and commodification. Body modifications in early America have often been dismissed as curiosities, yet the widely circulated stories and images of marked individuals-as this book demonstrates-were key to understanding the hopes and fears driving cultural boundary crossing in early America"--
